1. We created a variable named stopLight that is assigned to the string green.

2. Then, there's an if/else statement with multiple conditions, using else if. else if allows us to check multiple values of the stopLight variable and output different things based on its color.

3. The block ends with the singular else we have seen before. The else is a catch-all for any other situation. For instance, if the stopLight was blinking blue, the last else would catch it and return a default message.
